Meyer Sound UPQ-1P Powered Loudspeaker
The UPQ‑1P self‑powered wide coverage loudspeaker offers an extremely consistent polar response, and is distinguished by its constant‑Q horn that provides 80‑degree horizontal by 50‑degree vertical coverage (‑6 dB points) and a gentle coverage rolloff that extends uniformly out to its ‑10 dB points of 100 by 60 degrees. The horn’s smooth and consistent performance is the result of meticulous research in Meyer Sound’s anechoic chamber, and it exhibits a remarkably consistent beamwidth in both the horizontal and vertical planes across a wide frequency range of 1 kHz to 18 kHz. In addition, the UPQ‑1P horn delivers uniform attenuation for all frequencies outside the specified beamwidth.
Features:
- Wide, symmetrical pattern covers broad listening areas
- Extraordinarily flat amplitude and phase response for tonal accuracy and precise imaging
- Integral pole mount and quick and easy QuickFly mounting options
- Constant-Q horn affords uniform response throughout coverage area
- Exceptional size to power ratio
- Consistent and predictable performance ensures accurate system design
